Staff report

If you like to boogie to salsa music, you can do it for a good cause this weekend.

The Lupus Foundation of America will hold the fundraising event, "Dance to End Lupus Now," which will precede Lupus Awareness Month in May. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body.

Admission includes a three-course dinner, live music by all-female salsa band Los Mas Valientes and door prizes. The event also will feature a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle cash prize.

Too young to have seen 1989's box-office blockbuster "Batman" on the big screen? Or did you have no interest, watch it on home video and then kick yourself that you didn't?

Either way, you have the chance to experience the post-Adam West, pre-Christian Bale Caped Crusader on the big screen this weekend.

Michael Keaton starred in the title role, with Jack Nicholson as the diabolical Joker. Keaton returned for 1992's "Batman Returns," but not for 1995's "Batman Forever" or 1997's much-maligned "Batman & Robin."

A film discussion on the history of superhero films will precede the screening.

Think Rick Springfield was a one-hit wonder? He'll show you otherwise this weekend at his Pocono-area concert.

While the 1981 No. 1 smash "Jessie's Girl" probably is Springfield's most recognizable song, he scored 15 additional Top 40 hits on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart during the 1980s. Furthermore, he hit the Top 10 on four other occasions.

Springfield also scored success as an actor, most notably as Dr. Noah Drake on ABC's "General Hospital." He recently returned for the daytime soap's 50th anniversary.
